Opinions on this build please

[bashy]

Hey everyone, throwing a gaming PC together and I would like some opinions...

Intel Core 2 Duo E4300
Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R DDR2/DDR3
CRUCIAL BALLISTIX 2x 1GB DDR2 800 MHZ PC2 6400 BL2KIT12864AA804
XFX GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB/320 BITS GDDR3 SLI PCI-E BOX 500/1600 MHz
HD 160GB / 160 GB SATA Barracuda Seagate 7200 RPM
PSU Huntkey 450W Extreme LW-6450SG


Right now I'm just wondering if the PSU will be enough, other than that, pretty confident that it's a good build.

Also, I think I'm gonna go with 4GB DDR2 800 G.SKILL F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ Kit Dual Channel 5-5-5-15 (2 X 2 GB) instead of the 2 gigs I listed above.

it looks good, if its a good psu 450w will work, but i don't know anything about Huntkey, never heard of it before...

Yea first time I heard about it today aswell, seems to be a good PSU but I'm not too sure, I don't know much about PSU's.

from what i've read about it, it seems like it will work with 32 amps on the combined 12 volt rails and the gts only requires it to have 26 amps on the 12 volt rails

COOLER MASTER EXTREME POWER DUO 650W

would this one be better?

 

[gators1223]

yes it probably would be better

I don't like Cooler Master for PSUs, I only trust them for cases, case fans, and HSFs. If I were you I'd try antec, seasonic, or corsair.

Any particular reason you don't like cooler master?

I don't like CoolerMaster either. They use sleeve fans in them, which fail.
I had one in which a replacement (Thermaltake) fan also failed. I caught it before anything toasted, but with other good brands out there, why bother with CoolerMaster?

I don't trust them because they make cheap PSUs (By cheap I don't mean low-priced units, but in the sense that they lack quality)
